Blue Three: Create a Reconstruction Plan by Sarah Runer https://padlet.com/runers/30borb8j9q0kf7wd Save the Union! en-us 2022-01-24 15:20:19 UTC 2022-01-27 17:12:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Directions runers https://padlet.com/runers/30borb8j9q0kf7wd/wish/2009034461 In your groups create a proposal of a plan for Reconstruction after the Civil War. Your plan should seek to achieve two goals:
  1. To reunite the nation, resolve the conflicts that led to the Civil War, and heal the wounds the war caused.
  2. To bring justice to the nation and its citizens. 

Create your proposal on a Google Doc or Google Sliders. 
When finished, post a viewable link to this padlet.

  1. How could the Union be restored and the defeated South reintegrated into the nation?
  2. Would the Confederate states be treated as conquered territories, or would they quickly rejoin the Union with the same rights as other states?
  • Who would set the standards for readmission–Congress or the President? What terms should the Confederate states be required to meet, if any?
3. What will happen to each of the ex-Confederates groups listed below? Will they be citizens? Will they be permitted to vote? Will they be permitted to hold office in the government?
  • Confederate leaders (government officials/military officers)
  • Wealthy, slave-owning planters
  • Low-ranking soldiers in the Confederate Army
  • Working-class and poor whites in the South
4. What will happen to freed people and other African Americans? Will they be citizens? Will they be permitted to vote and hold office? What other rights will they be provided?
5. What will happen to the land and other property confiscated by the Union army or abandoned during the war? Who has the right to use it? Who has the right to own it?
6. What is the best way to ensure that white Southerners will be loyal to the United States and accept the end of slavery?

Read through the reconstruction plans created by the other groups. 
2. Answer the following questions on a sheet of paper:

  • Who benefits the most from this plan? Who benefits the least?
  • How will this plan help to reunite and heal the country?
  • How will this plan bring about justice after the war? Does it deny justice to any group(s) of Americans?
